SYDNEY FILM FESTIVAL
LOUNGE @ GRASSHOPPER
A neighbourhood
eating house and bar
in the heart of the
Sydney CBD,
Grasshopper in
Temperance Lane
is the place to be
during 2013 Sydney
Film Festival – for a
drink between films,
for dinner and for
after hours until 2am.*
Hidden in Temperance Lane opposite the
Strand Arcade, Grasshopper is a little CBD
bistro with a great laneway vibe.
Grasshopper was nominated French
Restaurant of the Year at the Restaurant
and Catering Awards 2011. It was also
awarded both Small Bar of the Year and
Small Business of the Year at the City of
Sydney Small Business Awards in 2010.
Grasshopper combines the feel of a
local eating house with that of a small
speakeasy. An overall respect for the
environment is visible in every part of the
operation – from the menu’s focus on
whole and organic foods and wines, to
the sourcing of second-hand furniture,
to mindful management of waste and
recycling. Unique atmosphere and
attention to quality make Grasshopper
the ideal venue for relaxing, dining and
getting to know other festivalgoers
throughout SFF 2013.
*Grasshopper is closed for the
public holiday on Monday 10 June.

Proving that richly drawn characters, elegantly composed
images and carefully mounted suspense still have their
place in contemporary horror, We Are What We Are is a
slow-burn slice of American Gothic to relish. Set in a
rain-drenched corner of the Catskills in upstate New York,
this classy story revolves around Frank Parker, a deeply
religious patriarch grieving over the sudden death of his
wife during preparations for the sacred family ritual of
Lamb’s Day. But Frank’s teenage daughters have begun to
question this tradition, and a local medico has uncovered
disturbing evidence that points suspicion in the direction of
the Parker house. Following the outstanding vampire pic
Stake Land (from SFF’s 2011 Freak Me Out selection),
director Jim Mickle and writing partner Nick Damici
emerge as American genre cinema’s most exciting team
with this creepy tale of bizarre family relations and unholy
faith. The film was selected for Director’s Fortnight at
Cannes Film Festival.

Aussie actress Sharni Vinson is dynamite in this
crackerjack cavalcade of carnage. The Davison family’s
rich and neurotic members gather at their country
mansion; their squabbling has barely started when a much
more pressing problem presents itself. A masked gang of
killers have axes and other nasty implements to grind
against the Davisons and it’s not long before the corridors
of the creaky old pile are crowded with corpses. But the
gate-crashers haven’t counted on Erin, the extraordinarily
fearless Australian girlfriend of scaredy-cat son Crispian
Davison. Cult favourite Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator ) is
terrific as the Davison’s medication-reliant matriarch and
the screenplay sprinkles just the right amount of black
humour into the river of red stuff that flows once the party
poopers get down to business. This pulse-pounder was
runner-up in the Midnight Movie audience award at the
Toronto International Film Festival.
